Privatised water means less water for the poor

Sure the UN might think it's a basic human right but what those bureaucrats don't realise is that the pursuit of profit at the expense of all human life and dignity is the most basic human urge, at least if you ask the elite. So we see Manila's poor going without water and the Philippine government nearly using the army to protect a private company's profits all because said private company had skimped on maintenance so as to have bigger profits, still what more can you expect from a de facto US colony?

Let us hope that Philippine citizens are able to mobilise in a similar manner as Bolivians did a decade ago.
